smooth muscle
The rhythmic smooth muscle is called the visceral smooth muscle. It is found in the walls of organs such as the intestines, uterus, and blood vessels, and it contracts and relaxes spontaneously to generate rhythmic movements.
No. The layer of the intestines composed of visceral muscle is called the muscularis externa. It is responsible for the movement and contraction of the intestines to facilitate digestion and absorption of nutrients.
Smooth Muscle
Muscles are made up of "excitable cells" which can contract. Visceral muscle is smooth muscle--one of three types of muscles in the body. Visceral muscle is found in the body in places like the arteries, bladder, the digestive tract and many other muscles which need to contract in order to perform their job.
single unit smooth muscle
A rhythmic contraction refers to a repeated pattern of muscle contractions at regular intervals. This can occur in various muscles in the body, including the heart muscle during the cardiac cycle. Rhythmic contractions are important for fundamental physiological processes such as pumping blood or generating movement.

Visceral muscle is a type of smooth muscle that is capable of contracting without conscious control. Yes, the intestine does contain visceral muscle.
